John (That You May Believe)

I Am The Good Shepherd (John 10:11-21)

In John 10, Jesus is continuing to explain who he is and what he is doing. Jesus is gathering his sheep and he is gathering his sheep so that they would have abundant life. Now Jesus makes clear who he is and it is a staggering declaration. “I am the good shepherd.” We read a statement like this and probably not make too much of it. But for Jesus to call himself “the good shepherd” truly explains who he is. In this lesson we will explore who Jesus is and how he is gathering his sheep, because this is where he is going in this “good shepherd” section of teaching.
